You seem to be the Freelink manual install expert. I'm using your page and have all of the images in partitions on my hard drive. Can't get it to boot from it. I've changed the Uboot variables per the isntructions but it seems to find a uImage file that doesn't match what I saved to the boot partitiion. And whatever it finds has a bad CRC. Any suggestions?

*Make sure the LinkStation and your PC are on the same sub-network. This likely requires that you change the IP address (and probably the subnet-mask) of your PC to a different (and static) IP address: 192.186.11.XXX

*After finding your LinkStation, press the "Renew Firmware" button, and wait. Have patience, and keep your calm. If you think the Firmware updater is acting strange, do not try to disconnect the LinkStation or abort the update in another way.

*After flashing connect your LinkStation up to the network with subnet 192.168.1.XXX

*Find your LinkStation on the network and [[w:Telnet|Telnet]] to it with [[w:PuTTY|PuTTYtel]] You will be at the root shell.

help with manual install

You seem to be the Freelink manual install expert. I'm using your page and have all of the images in partitions on my hard drive. Can't get it to boot from it. I've changed the Uboot variables per the isntructions but it seems to find a uImage file that doesn't match what I saved to the boot partitiion. And whatever it finds has a bad CRC. Any suggestions?
